Officially launched on Oct. 16, Total Health Radio is Kaiser Permanente’s first national foray into the world of podcasting, delivering motivating stories, valuable information and important health tips through a series of engaging conversations with featured guests.

The podcast series which is being recorded and produced in Aurora, Colo., will cover a wide range of topics — especially women’s and family health — with the help of local and national physicians, health experts and patients, who will share their experiences dealing with and overcoming health challenges.

Total Health Radio will feature many hosts, including the regular podcast hosted by Dr. Gottesfeld, an ob-gyn physician with Kaiser Permanente Colorado. Dr. Gottesfeld lives in Denver and has been taking care of women and delivering babies at St. Joseph’s Hospital for 17 years. In addition to being a dedicated doctor, she is a wife, mother of three girls, avid runner and author of a humorous and informative blog.

“I love to educate women about their health, their bodies and the changes they are going to go through over the course of their lives,” said Dr. Gottesfeld.

“So I’m excited about Total Health Radio — reaching more people and really getting information out there in a way that’s engaging and can help people take care of themselves.”

Total Health Radio features programs about family health, women’s heart health and developing awareness of teen dating violence. Future topics will reflect Kaiser Permanente’s belief in total health — mind, body, and spirit — and will discuss such matters as:

Breast cancer — risk, diagnosis and treatment, and recovery

Healthy sleep

Caffeine and kids

Five things to know about flu season

Mindfulness

The podcasts are free and available through mobile devices and personal computers at Kaiser Permanente’s recently launched website, Total Health Radio and will soon be available on podcast-distribution platforms such as iTunes and Stitcher.

At TotalHealthRadio.org, listeners can view show summaries, explore additional resources on featured topics, and check out bonus clips from shows.
